@ares@kolektiva.social @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @anildash@me.dm My.impression is that Google detects when a search term is likely looking for a product and gives the first few results, one each, from Amazon, Walmart, and a few other big or product-domain-specific stores. This is almost surely not organic pagerank...

@dalias@hachyderm.io @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @anildash@me.dm only way amazon pays google is if amazon intentionally bought ads google doesn't just send unsolicited invoices to companies if amazon doesn't want to pay google, they don't need a charity scheme, they can just, you know, stop buying ads? and @tob@hachyderm.io, you're probably on to something here, it's not about paying google at all, it's about training shoppers to start their search on amazon that way shoppers don't ever even see alternatives from competitors that aligns much better with the facts
